I was deeply saddened this a.m. when I opened your report and read of your fathers passing. Just know that even though many of us have never met, we are still connected by common interests, philosophies, lifestyles etc. So my friend, I said a prayer in honour of your father and hope that the next few days of reflection are a comfort to you.

Very well said. I can't tell you how it feels to be so far from home but to be connected to all of you that now know me and are sharing this ride with me. I feel we all share a common bond of a love for travel and motorcycles. It's fantastic to be able to share with you all, this ride, my thoughts, and friendship.

The ride will continue but for now, I am stopped in Zipolite, and taking a break.
